Well, ref positive offsets would certainly help in back testing.
I use back testing to know if a system would have peformed well in 
history.

I have several system that require you to sell lets say at the open 5 
day AFTER you bought, no matter what is the current quotation.
If I could have a ref(close, open, high, low) +5 from the bought day, 
it would certainly help backtesting those systems.
